The past couple of weeks have been a bit strange. Last week, for example, we only went to school for two days. We had Monday (and the Friday before it) off due to mid-Winter Break (which usually surrounds President's Day) and then Thursday and Friday off due to "cold" days. Today, I also did not go into school as my eldest son had an IEP meeting at the school (talking about his progress, accommodations, and goals for the coming transition into high school). Out of the past eleven days, I have only been at school for two of them.
Tomorrow, I should be back to school as normal and used to the schedule in no time. I'm looking forward to seeing my students again even if I am not looking forward to the drive or losing the more relaxed schedule of this past week. Actually, my largest complaint with this time off is that I tend to get much less done when my time is unstructured. I know that this is a problem for me, but I still haven't sat down and written up a "day-off" schedule that sets aside time to work on things that I would like to do, but just don't seem to have the willpower to do them. Too often I turn on the computer and start loading up a game (usually Starcraft or Skyrim) without even thinking.
One way or another, it's back to making my lunch and picking out my clothes prior to going to bed, back to waking up early, back to long drives, and back to being productive.
